Corrosion behavior of Hastelloy C22 coating produced by laser cladding in static and cavitation acid solution

The Hastelloy C22 coatings on Q235 steel substrate were produced by high power diode laser cladding technique. Their corrosion behaviors in static and cavitation hydrochloric, sulfuric and nitric acid solutions were investigated. The electrochemical results show that corrosion resistance of coatings in static acid solutions is higher than that in cavitation ones. In each case, coating corrosion resistance in descending order is in nitric, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions. Obvious erosion-corrosion morphology and serious intercrystalline corrosion of coating are noticed in cavitation hydrochloric acid solution. This is mainly ascribed to the aggressive ions in hydrochloric acid solution and mechanical effect from cavitation bubbles collapse. While coating after corrosion test in cavitation nitric acid solution shows nearly unchanged surface morphology. The results indicate that the associated action of cavitation and property of acid solution determines the corrosion development of coating. Hastelloy C22 coating exhibits better corrosion resistance in oxidizing acid solution for the stable formation of dense oxide film on the surface.     

热腐蚀和盐雾腐蚀影响氮化物涂层冲蚀行为的机制

金属氮化物涂层是目前重点关注的航空发动机压气机抗冲蚀涂层体系。为了兼顾热物理化学环境和应力环境的影响,进行涂层的腐蚀-冲蚀耦合行为研究十分重要。本研究对比了TiN/Ti涂层与TiN/ZrN涂层的原始状态、热腐蚀后和盐雾腐蚀后的冲蚀行为。结果表明,对于TiN/Ti涂层,在涂层的缺陷处盐雾腐蚀时形成点蚀坑,这是发生冲蚀的薄弱环节,盐雾腐蚀后TiN/Ti涂层的抗冲蚀能力及结合力低于原始涂层和热腐蚀后的涂层。对于TiN/ZrN涂层,热腐蚀过程中液滴表面形成疏松的腐蚀产物和氧化物,使其在冲蚀时更容易脱落,热腐蚀过程中产生的层间热应力削弱了涂层的结合力。热腐蚀涂层冲蚀后呈现严重的螺旋状剥落,热腐蚀后TiN/ZrN涂层的抗冲蚀能力及结合力低于原始涂层和盐雾腐蚀后涂层。

The effect of plasma spray parameters on the cavitation erosion of Al2O3-TiO2 coatings

This paper reports a study of how the choice of plasma spray parameters, used during deposition of Al₂O₃-13%TiO₂ coatings on carbon steel, influences the cavitation erosion properties of such coatings. The parameters studied are the power feeding rate and hydrogen flow rate. The surface and cross section of coatings before and after cavitation were also observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phases present in the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction method (XRD). The microscopic observations were used to study the inter-lamellar connection, porosity, unmelted particles and so on inside the coating. We also measured the roughness, microhardness, adhesion strength and cavitation erosion of the coatings. The XRD results showed that the coating includes different allotropes of Al₂O₃ such as α and γ. The cavitation erosion studies of the coatings were conducted by ultrasonic cavitation testing on the basis of ASTM G32 standard. It was found that cavitation erosion is accelerated around the unmelted particles and porosities. The results reveal that the cavitation resistance of the coating is determined by its microstructure and that increasing discontinuities (inside the coating) reduce its cavitation resistance. We have found that the coating obtained at hydrogen gas flow rate of 16 L/min and powder feeding rate of 20 g/min has the best cavitation resistance.     

Effect of Spray Particle Velocity on Cavitation Erosion Resistance Characteristics of HVOF and HVAF Processed 86WC-10Co4Cr Hydro Turbine Coatings

The hydro plants utilizing silt-laden water for power generation suffer from severe metal wastage due to particle-induced erosion and cavitation. High-velocity oxy-fuel process (HVOF)-based coatings is widely applied to improve the erosion life. The process parameters such as particle velocity, size, powder feed rate, temperature, affect their mechanical properties. The high-velocity air fuel (HVAF) technology, with higher particle velocities and lower spray temperatures, gives dense and substantially nonoxidized coating. In the present study, the cavitation resistance of 86WC-10Co4Cr-type HVOF coating processed at 680 m/s spray particle velocity was compared with HVAF coatings made at 895, 960, and 1010 m/s. The properties such as porosity, hardness, indentation toughness, and cavitation resistance were investigated. The surface damage morphology has been analyzed in SEM. The cohesion between different layers has been examined qualitatively through scratch depth measurements across the cross section. The HVAF coatings have shown a lower porosity, higher hardness, and superior cavitation resistance. Delamination, extensive cracking of the matrix interface, and detachment of the WC grains were observed in HVOF coating. The rate of metal loss is low in HVAF coatings implying that process parameters play a vital role in achieving improved cavitation resistance.     

AH32钢表面等离子喷涂制备疏水涂层及其耐腐蚀性能研究

目的提高AH32海洋用钢表面的疏水性及耐蚀性,并给出最佳性能的喷涂涂层成分。方法采用大气等离子喷涂技术,在AH32钢表面制备了三种不同成分的涂层。利用微量进样器结合半球法测量了涂层的接触角,并利用Qwen-Wendt公式对涂层的表面能进行了计算,利用扫描电子显微镜观察涂层的表面形貌,利用表面粗糙度仪测量涂层的表面粗糙度,利用冲刷实验及电化学工作站测量了不同涂层的耐蚀性能,并讨论了不同涂层的疏水机制及相应的腐蚀机理。结果等离子喷涂涂层显著改善了AH32钢的疏水性能。相比而言,等离子喷涂Co基涂层及等离子喷涂Ni基涂层与水的静态接触角达到了130°以上,均具有较好的疏水效果。三种涂层均明显改善了AH32钢的耐海水冲刷腐蚀能力,其中AH32钢基体腐蚀30d后的失重为1.68×10^-2 g/cm^2,等离子喷涂Ni基涂层的腐蚀失重最小,约为4.2×10^-3 g/cm^2。极化曲线测试结果也表明,三种涂层的自腐蚀电位较基体提高了300 mV左右,并且腐蚀电流密度较基体降低了1个数量级以上,另外Co基涂层的腐蚀电流密度高于Ni基涂层的腐蚀电流密度,因此Co基涂层在腐蚀过程中表面会产生较多的羟基基团,导致其与水的静态接触角降低,最终导致其疏水性能下降。结论等离子喷涂Ni基涂层的疏水性能最好,腐蚀速率最小,耐冲刷腐蚀性能最佳,与基体相比,其腐蚀失重减小了1.26×10^-2 g/cm^2。     

Microstructure and Cavitation Erosion Properties of Ceramic Coatings Fabricated on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy by Pack Carburizing

In this study, Ti-6Al-4V alloy was processed by pack carburizing to improve the cavitation erosion behavior. X-ray diffraction and scanning-electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that a uniform and crack-free ceramic coating formed on the surface of the treated samples. The coating layer comprised primary TiC and less oxide. Cavitation erosion experiment results indicated that the treated samples have the factor of 3.44 to 6.68 increase in cavitation erosion resistance (R _e) as compared with the as-received sample. The ceramic coatings with high hardness and good metallurgical bonding were responsible for the enhanced cavitation erosion properties. When the coatings were treated at condition of high temperature and/or long time, the R _e was enervated due to the thin oxide film formed at the outermost surface. Cavitation erosion mechanism for the coatings was characterized as brittle mode by SEM observation of the worn surfaces.     

Thermal spray and weld repair alloys for the repair of cavitation damage in turbines and pumps: A technical note

The cavitation and erosion resistance of 21 thermal spray coatings and four weld repair materials were investigated in the laboratory using cavitation jet and slurry erosion testing. Of the thermal spray coatings, Stellite® 6 deposited by the high velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) process had the lowest cavitation rate (11.7 mg/h). This was higher than the corresponding cavitation rate (3.2 mg/h) of 308 stainless steel weld metal currently used as a reference. In the slurry erosion testing, the volume loss of Stellite® 6 applied by the HVOF process was 5.33 cubic mm/h, much lower than the corresponding loss (11.17 cubic mm/h) in the currently used stainless steel 304 reference. Furthermore, the electrochemical potential difference between the carbon steel and HVOF sprayed Stellite 6 coating was 0.25 volts, half the potential difference between the 304 stainless steel carbon steel substrate, and will result in reduced galvanic corrosion of the substrate near the contact areas. Stellite 6 deposited by the HVOF process was recommended for repair of damage resulting from erosion and subsequent cavitation by caused by surface roughening.     

Keramische Beschichtungen im Pumpenbau

Ceramic coatings for pump components The objective of the present paper is to develop a SiC-based ceramic coating for critical tribological pump components. The paper presents the results obtained for different types of coatings tested under pump-specific loads in comparison with conventional materials. The coatings (WC/Co, WC/Ni, Cr₃C₂/NiCr, Ni-SiC/INCONEL) were applied using the vacuum plasma spraying process. Laboratory tests were carried out on model test stands. The materials were tested with regard to their resistance to corrosion, cavitation and erosion as well as their behaviour in a tribologically critical environment. The coatings examined proved to be suitable for pump engineering applications involving tribological and erosive loads; while they do not provide sufficient protection against cavitation and corrosion attacks in highly concentrated acids.

Structure and cavitation erosion behavior of HVOF sprayed multi-dimensional WC–10Co4Cr coating

A new kind of multi-dimensional WC–10Co4Cr coating which is composed of nano, submicron, micron WC grains and CoCr alloy, was developed by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying. Porosity, microhardness, fracture toughness and cavitation erosion resistance of the multi-dimensional coating were investigated in comparison with the bimodal and nanostructured WC–10Co4Cr coatings. Moreover, the cavitation erosion behavior and mechanism of the multi-dimensional coating were explored. Results show that HVOF sprayed multi-dimensional WC–10Co4Cr coating possesses low porosity (≤0.32%) and high fracture toughness without obvious nano WC decarburization during spraying. Furthermore, it is discovered that the multi-dimensional WC–10Co4Cr coating exhibits the best cavitation erosion resistance which is enhanced by approximately 28% and 34%, respectively, compared with the nanostructured and bimodal coatings in fresh water. The superior cavitation resistance of multi-dimensional WC–10Co4Cr coating may originate from the unique micro–nano structure and excellent properties, which can effectively obstruct the formation and propagation of cavitation erosion cracks.     

超音速等离子喷涂制备金属陶瓷涂层的抗冲蚀性能

通过高效能超音速等离子喷涂(SAPS)制备WC-Co及WC-Ni Cr金属陶瓷涂层,对比研究了2种涂层的抗冲蚀性能及在热腐蚀条件下的结构和性能演变。结果表明:2种涂层在喷涂过程中均会发生一定程度的脱碳,表现为W_2C相的形成;同时在WC-Co涂层中有少量的Co_3W_3C和Co_6W_6C相生成,且该涂层在热腐蚀后表层的WC相出现了分解与氧化,形成了W_3C、W_6C_(2.54)等脱碳相与CoWO_4、WO_3等氧化物相。在普通冲蚀条件下,WC-Co涂层的抗冲蚀性能更为优异,但热腐蚀会极大降低WC-Co涂层的抗冲蚀性能;与之相反,WC-NiCr涂层中的NiCr相在热腐蚀环境下生成的Cr_2O_3可以有效阻挡涂层内部与外部之间的物质扩散,从而降低了热腐蚀对涂层结构的破坏,在热腐蚀条件下表现出了优良的抗冲蚀性能。

Growth,corrosion and wear resistance of SiC nanoparticles embedded MAO coatings on AZ31B magnesium alloy

In this research, nanocomposite coating was deposited on magnesium matrix AZ31B alloy using the micro arc oxidation (MAO) method. MAO was carried out in SiC-nanoparticles containing suspension using the sodium silicate and sodium aluminate bases at constant current density. The effect of nanopowder addition and MAO periods were also investigated in the present work. Using the Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the thickness and surface morphology of the coatings were studied. The coefficient of friction and abrasion rate curves were used to analyze nanopowder addition on resistance to abrasion, while the potentiodynamic curves were used for assessing the resistance to corrosion in the ceramic nanocomposite coating deposited on surface of alloy AZ31B. The morphological studies on surface of coatings revealed that the cavitation level and size increases with the increasing coating duration. Besides, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Diffraction (EDS) analyses from cross section and surface of the prepared coatings revealed that nanopowder distribution on interface of coating with matrix and boundaries of the cavities is almost uniform. The cross section studies of the coatings revealed that their thickness increases, as coating duration prolongs. Furthermore, the corrosion behavior of the samples indicated that presence of nanopowder does not significantly affect the resistance to corrosion of the coatings; however, coefficient of friction and abrasion rate of coatings indicates a respective rise and drop in presence of these nanopowders.     

Effect of number of layers on erosion,corrosion, and wear resistance of multilayer Cr–N/Cr–Al–N coatings on AISI 630 stainless steel

In the present study, multilayered Cr–N/Cr–Al–N coatings were prepared by cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (PVD) with different numbers of layers and the same total thickness on AISI 630 steel in an attempt to improve the wear and erosion–corrosion resistance. Structural analysis of the coatings was performed by field scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Depth profiles and roughness parameters of worn surfaces were calculated after erosion and wear tests. XRD indicated that nitride compounds were formed in multilayer coatings by PVD. The Cr–N/Cr–Al–N coating exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared with AISI 630 substrate. The erosion–corrosion results revealed that the smoothest wear track with the minimum erosion rate and wear depth was obtained for five- and seven-layered coatings. The failure mechanism of the bare substrate was influenced by plastic deformation via cutting and plowing, while the failure mechanism for coated samples was chipping and delamination. According to the wear results, the multilayer coatings showed a lower friction coefficient and better surface morphology that demonstrated their high ability for wear protection.     

AC-HVAF热喷涂非晶和金属陶瓷涂层在压裂液中的冲蚀行为

采用喷射冲蚀与电化学测试相结合方法,对AC-HVAF热喷涂非晶金属和金属陶瓷两种涂层在压裂工况下的冲蚀规律进行了研究,评价了腐蚀和冲蚀的交互作用,分析了耐蚀性和硬度在冲蚀时的主导作用,确定了冲蚀机理。结果表明,硬度决定材料的抗冲蚀性能,硬度高的WC涂层表现出更高的抗冲蚀能力。冲蚀过程中,纯机械冲刷引起的失重占主导作用。交互作用中,涂层由腐蚀引起的增量占比例则较高,提高涂层耐蚀性可以减少交互作用失重,进而提高其抗冲蚀性能。AC-HVAF涂层表面则呈现出脆性冲蚀特征,冲蚀时侧重于固体砂粒对表面的碰撞和切削剥蚀作用。涂层孔隙的降低和粘结相结合强度的提高是提高其在压裂液中抗冲蚀性能的关键。
